Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 29, Model, Settlement, Reward (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Facing Jiang Zhe's gaze, Chen Yan didn't dare to meet his look for a moment, as if there was a special magic in those eyes.

She lowered her head to drink the hot drink, looked away, and cursed herself for being useless.

She didn't know why she liked the boy opposite her even though they had only known each other for a short time. Her outgoing personality and flexible language suddenly didn't work when she faced Jiang Zhe.

I tried to muster up my courage again, but the energy I had just felt had passed, and those words seemed to have become incredibly heavy.

Jiang Zhe didn't get a response, so he continued to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh," Chen Yan had to find an excuse: "I, I think your painting is very good, yes, can you draw a picture for me?"

"A painting? Or a portrait of yourself?"

"Oh, draw my portrait." Chen Yan reacted.

Jiang Zhe noticed Chen Yan's strangeness and seemed to want to say something? There was no need to hesitate about painting a portrait.

Many students cannot afford to hire models when they are learning to paint, so it is common for classmates to paint each other.

"As long as you don't mind that my painting is too bad, it's no problem. Sketches and watercolors are both fine." Jiang Zhe agreed readily.

"You can also paint watercolor portraits?"

"Well, it's alright."

"Let's find a time and I'll be the model."

The next second, Jiang Zhe heard the system prompt sound.

Taking the opportunity of lowering his head to wipe his mouth, he quietly checked the system page.

Mission Tips: Players trigger the model contract mission.

Chen Yan's favor towards the player has reached the baseline for triggering a special contract. Chen Yan's own conditions meet the system's evaluation criteria for models. Whether the player invites Chen Yan to become a fixed model...

The tip also provided a detailed introduction, but Chen Yan was talking, so Jiang Zhe could only find another time to analyze it carefully.

However, this task is interesting.

During the following conversation, he stared at Chen Yan from time to time.

This caused Chen Yan to secretly check herself several times.

After lunch, the two returned to the training class and continued their lessons.

During the class, students who were familiar with Chen Yan noticed that she seemed to become suddenly quiet.

Jiang Zhe quietly found an opportunity to open the system panel.

Task introduction: ...some painters in history had their own fixed models, and some famous portrait paintings were completed by the painters with reference to the fixed models.

If the player decides to use Chen Yan as a fixed model and uses her as a prototype to complete a series of works (more than ten works), he will get a special opportunity to increase the popularity of the work and the painter.

Special reminder for the task: 1/3 of the works in the series must meet the quality requirements approved by the system.

After reading the mission description, the first thing that came to Jiang Zhe's mind was that this mission opportunity contained infinite possibilities.

If you increase the popularity of one of your works, you may increase your own fame, which will be very beneficial for making money by selling paintings in the future.

To evaluate the true level of a painter, one must mainly refer to his representative works. Therefore, this opportunity must be seized. With fame, one does not have to rely entirely on system rewards.

Jiang Zhe turned and looked at Chen Yan.

The girl's beauty is enough to support the work, fix the model relationship, and is suitable for the current situation of the two people.

He clicked to accept the task, and found an opportunity to quietly say to Chen Yan: "I want to prepare well for the portrait. Are you in a hurry?"

Chen Yan glanced at Jiang Zhe. She had originally wanted to find a topic to ease the awkwardness, but she hadn't expected Jiang Zhe to take it seriously. However, she suddenly thought of a possibility. If she asked Jiang Zhe to draw a portrait for her, would they spend a long time together? Even...

She thought of some scenes and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"No hurry, when are you free?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I need to prepare the materials. When we both have time, we can go to my studio."

Chen Yan asked: "Do you have your own studio?"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Please come to visit."

"Okay, it's a deal."

……

Jiang Zhe began to prepare for the task. Not only because of the system's requirements, but also because he had agreed to paint a portrait for someone. If the work was not outstanding, it would be embarrassing.

At present, the skills he is confident of are sketching, quick sketching and watercolor. So, he plans to paint a batch of watercolor paintings. Time passed unknowingly, and it was time to settle accounts at the end of the month.

Throughout February, Jiang Zhe spent most of his time in the studio and training classes, making full use of his time.

After he clicks checkout, the system page displays:

The player's study this month reached a good standard and received a reward of 41000 yuan.

Please select how you would like to receive your reward.

This time the rewards are still in four ways: stocks, lotteries, business opportunities, and selling paintings.

Jiang Zhe chose to sell his paintings as usual.

The system prompted him to send his work information and contact information to the email addresses of several galleries.

Jiang Zhe followed the system prompts, prepared himself, and waited for a reply.

The next afternoon after the message was sent, Jiang Zhe's cell phone rang and the caller ID showed an international long-distance call.

He answered the phone and the person on the other end said his name was Chris Young and he was an employee of Smith.

After some communication, Jiang Zhe realized that the Smith the other party was referring to was the person who had purchased his sketches.

Chris Yang told Jiang Zhe that Smith needed ten watercolor paintings, which were to be sold in conjunction with some high-end furniture, so there were clear requirements on the content, subject matter and especially style.

Smith specifically asked Jiang Zhe to give it a try, so Chris Yang called Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe asked about the requirements and said he could give it a try.

Chris Yang asked Jiang Zhe to draw ten small drafts before deciding on the next step.

He reiterated that the work should imitate or be close to the style of American painter Steve Hanks.

Jiang Zhe put down his phone and went to buy Steve Hanks's albums and materials for research.

This painter is one of the top painters in the United States and has created a large number of excellent watercolor works.

Jiang Zhe looked at the exquisite watercolor paintings, looking for patterns and painting style characteristics.

The painter likes to use subtle changes in light and shadow to express the texture of characters and different materials. He has extremely high realistic skills and brings out the transparent qualities of watercolor paint to the extreme, allowing the audience to indulge in the soft and beautiful life created by the painter.

Jiang Zhe has a watercolor skill package that he distributes systematically, and he quickly summarized the painter's precise use of water and watercolor paints as well as his unique techniques.

With his discovery, he created a draft according to Smith's requirements.

The size of the draft is not large, so you can practice quickly and repeatedly.

From dozens of sketches, ten were selected, photographed, and sent to Chris Young.

The next day, Jiang Zhe received another call from Chris Yang.

Chris Yang told Jiang Zhe that Smith was very optimistic about Jiang Zhe's draft and hoped that Jiang Zhe would start formal creation as soon as possible.

After discussing the specific requirements and price, the two ended the call.

In order to get the reward as soon as possible, Jiang Zhe immediately got to work.

During the creative period, he took a day to take another art exam. This was a recruitment exam for a Class C school, and the exam went smoothly.

In fifteen days, Jiang Zhe completed ten watercolor works.

These works are based on the theme of characters, with backgrounds including courtyards, gardens, interiors, seaside, etc.

Through half a month of creation, Jiang Zhe has mastered Steve Hanks' style and has gained a deeper understanding of watercolor figure painting.

He took photos of his work and sent them to Chris Young.

Chris Young quickly called Jiang Zhe back and said that Smith was very satisfied with Jiang Zhe's work and asked him to send the work as soon as possible.

The next day after the works were sent out, Jiang Zhe received payment for ten works.

After deducting various expenses, it is exactly 41000 yuan.
